Beware of heavy metals
« Everyone wants to be healthy and live a long life, but few take action to achieve it. » – Sebastian Kneipp
Understanding Toxic Overload
Every day, our body accumulates and eliminates toxins. However, depending on our lifestyle – and therefore our daily choices – the body can experience toxic build-up when faced with an excess of toxins.
On one hand, our habits – sometimes intentional, sometimes automatic– weigh heavily in the balance: poor diet, lack of sleep, sedentary lifestyle…
On the other hand, certain factors that are harder to control, such as stress, some medications, or pollution, also contribute to the build-up of toxins.
Ultimately, an overload of toxins in the blood triggers a series of negative health effects.
If you want to take action now to reduce this impact, book your lifestyle consultation. Together, we will establish a holistic hypotoxic program tailored to your budget and priorities.
Toxic Metals to Watch Out For
Health authorities currently identify three metals as particularly concerning for humans: mercury, cadmium, and lead.
We believe it is necessary to broaden this list. Indeed, several other metals are also concerning when ingested (orally, nasally, or through the skin) in large amounts over the long term.
Here is the expanded list of metals to watch out for, along with their health risks:
- Antimony: liver and digestive system disorders.
- Arsenic: skin, cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, liver, kidney, and blood problems.
- Cadmium: kidney damage, respiratory and reproductive issues, bone fragility.
- Nickel: allergic reactions, asthma, contact dermatitis.
- Tin: liver and brain damage, weakened immune system, chromosomal alteration, anemia.
- Mercury: brain, kidney, and fetal development damage.
- Lead: intellectual and behavioral disorders in children; hypertension, kidney, and reproductive system damage in adults.
- Aluminum: respiratory, neurological, and reproductive system issues.
- Fluoride: thyroid and neurological problems, bone fragility.
- Chlorine: respiratory and eye irritation.
